Hi all,
A good friend of mine has recently lost everything she owned in a fire. She was on holiday at the time and came home to the awful news that the whole block of flats had burnt down.

To make matters worse, she didn't have any contents insurance. She now has nothing. A few friends are clubbing together to see if we can get her a new bike. We don't have a huge budget so I thought i'd see if anyone on the forum has a road bike in decent condition that they'd be willing to let go of? We have raised around £350-400 at time of writing and we don't forsee this increasing massively.
She would require something around a 54cm (if women's specific frame - I think these tend to come up a bit shorter in the top tube) and maybe a 52-53cm blokes bike.
Thanks for reading.
Giacomo
